Net Neutrality Fails in Senate Committee

The Net Neutrality Amendment failed in the Senate Commerce Committee by a tie vote of 11-11, with all ten Democratic committee members voting in favor, along with Senator Snowe (a Republican) who introduced the amendment. The eleven remaining Republican members voted against it.

It is unlikely now that the final bill will pass in the full Senate, in my opinion. If that is the case it would effectively kill the telecommunications reform legislation for this session of Congress.

Here is a list of the 11 Senators who voted against Net Neutrality.
